Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.
A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.
THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAD TO TELL THE POLICE HE'S FUNDING HE WORKED ON THE CITY COUNCIL OF LOS ANGELES
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.

Morning all. The world may be in upheaval but there is peace and tranquility to be found in nature. Enjoy the Day 🌞
The cover has a light blue sky in the upper half. Charlotte's Web is written in blue-green letters, all joined by a spider's web. Hanging down from the C in Charlotte is a spider on a thread. In the lower half is a young girl in a[ponytail, wearing a red top. She's facing left, towards the spider, holding a pig under her left arm. A sheep looks on on the left. A goose looks on on the right. She's leaning on a wooden fence, on which the author's name is printed in red and Garth Williams's in black.

Ch. 7: Charlotte’s Web
The story behind the story. White decides to write about a spider; many drafts and “ripening time” later, he takes it to #UrsulaNordstrom; they collaborate with Garth Williams.
And what a result! #nonfictionkidlit #abramsbooks

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

Happy Friday! We made it through the week! We had a spritzy fog this morning so here is the second place coffee shop vote-getter from Monday, taken 11 minutes before the sun broke the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Evening views of Bamburgh beach and castle from across the rocks. Partially cloudy sky gave some muted sunlight colours in the clouds
Evening stroll and dog walk at Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland. Started off relatively cloudy but the clouds started to break up a little aand give some lovely soft light in the sky across the beach and rocks. A worthwhile wander.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
Enjoyed hanging out and canvassing with this guy for @waternotcoalab.bsky.social down in sunny Kensington #yyc outside the Plaza/Pages for a few hours this afternoon.

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

There's so much bad news out there I'm so glad there's good baby bird news. 🪶 🐣
Governor Pritzker speaks at the Celebration of Life for Reverend Jackson.
Reverend Jackson will live on.
In his family.
In the countless lives that he touched.
In the public servants, elected officials, and leaders that have walked in the path that he set.
In the kinder, more just world that his advocacy built.
May his memory be a blessing to us all.
Policies, I think you mean stealing and wasting don't you?
What's in the Epstein Files that Trump doesn't want his followers to know?
He's a adjudicated rapist, so it can't be rape
There's the "grab them by the pussy" tape, so they already know he disrespects girls
They know he's a racist, cheat & liar
I think he killed someone
It's the only thing left
